TIME CAPSULES

If you are a fan of music, chances are you've become acquainted with the name Elefant. The band is fronted by Diego Garcia who is not only a fan of Belgrano but a lifelong member. Born in Detroit to Argentine parents his family registered him as a Belgrano member soon after his birth. He has been a devoted fan ever since and he was spotted recently in a match in Buenos Aires (first thing in the morning he checks Argentine football results!). Elefant have become a household name in the NYC musical scene and Diego Garcia is reaping the benefits. A few months ago, they performed at Niceto Club in Buenos Aires. This clip features the song The Clown from their last album The Black Magic Show and the drummer is wearing a Belgrano's jersey! (yeah, I know you can't see it but it's true...first-hand info). Check it out...

IN BRIEF

BREAKING NEWS: Belgrano have officially canceled the tour to Belgium. The new coach is said to have opposed the move and Belgrano will stay in Argentina for the pre-season.

Suarez will join his new teammates on 11 July. Good luck in this new challenge Matias.

After finishing fourth on goal difference, Belgrano will play two promotion legs against a Premier division side. The rival is still to be decided.Sources confirm that the judge accepted the offer for Matias Suarez and authorized Belgrano to continue the negotiations with RSC Anderlecht. As both clubs and the player have already agreed conditions, this effectively means that Suarez will join Anderlecht in June 2008.

Reports suggests that Matias Suarez will be heading to Belgium. Operation likely to be finalised during this week.
